Our Philosophy
Violinists are both athletes and artists! We believe that approaching the violin first as sport and then as art will make a huge difference in the way we learn the violin. In our violin lessons, we work around 4 major elements to shape the student into a strong performer; those 4 elements are strength, balance, focus, and art.
Strength
Learn the Correct Technique
Learn the most proper and correct technique In order to create the best sound and to improve rapidly
Balance
Learn how to be Confident
Being confident involves many factors which play major roles in the performance. Learn how to be really confident when you perform
Focus
Improve 3x Faster than other Students
With unique methods and skills of teaching, students will be guaranteed to improve 3 times faster than other violin students
Art
Learn how to use your imagination
A violinist is an actor who has to tell a story without using their voices. Students will be taught how to narrate stories through their instrument
While we work on strengthening the body and posture of the student, we integrate exercises to improve balance. Once balance is in the picture and student learns to be more grounded, we help them to improve their focus through our creative “focus improvement” techniques. While we focus on “strength, balance and focus”, we then work on strengthening student’s listening ability and their creativity and help them with the artistic part of playing the violin.

Classes
Private Violin Lessons
Private lessons are offered for students age 4-60. Students may take 1 or 2 lessons per week depending on their capacity, age, and their commitment level. 30 minute lessons are usually more suitable for age 4 or 5. Lessons are focused both on Suzuki method (ear training) and traditional method (note reading).
Children’s Violin Orchestra
Children’s violin orchestra lessons are provided twice a month as a supplementary program to the private lessons, however, students experience other types of musical activities apart from performing together. These lessons demand students to listen to each other with high concentration which as a result their listening ability increase tremendously.
RCM Exam Preparation
At Nirvana Academy of Violin, we encourage our students to participate in the RCM exams and receive official certificates on their violin performance skills. 100% of our students have received passing grades and some have received the RCM’s Gold Medal. We prepare students with ear training, technical material and repertoires.
Violin Teacher Training
Violin students who have passed their level 9 exam (practical, theory, counterpoint, harmony, and history) and are interested in teaching violin are welcome to contact Nirvana for a teacher training program. Nirvana will teach them the teaching techniques and train them to become a competitive teachers.
Your Opinion Matters
Our daughter Ginevra has been learning to play the violin with Nirvana for over 3 years since she was 5, and the experience is great! The violin is not an easy instrument to learn, but Nirvana makes it fun to learn, and teaches it always with a smile. Her teaching is very well balanced since it includes a “technical” part (scales, arpeggios, posture, etc.) and a “fun” part (the pieces from the Suzuki method, which is excellent for kids). Thanks to Nirvana, Ginevra loves playing the violin and passed her Level 2 exam at the RCM. We highly recommend Nirvana and her Academy to anyone wishing to learn the violin in a pleasant and effective manner.
Nirvana is an enthusiastic teacher with a wealth of knowledge. She helped me grow as a violinist in many facets.
This academy is the highest instructional level. Nirvana and her instructors are caring and strive for perfection while making it an enjoyable experience.
Nirvana is great person and excellent teacher. Highly recommended.
When we joined Nirvana 4 years ago, both my sons were ready to ditch violin playing for good. Nirvana’s fun, innovative and encouraging teaching style made a difference! Today, my older son has totally embraced his journey as a violinist alongside one of Nirvana’s fabulous teachers. My younger son on the other hand, found his niche playing the drums with a Nirvana- approved drum teacher. They are both committed to their music education, are excelling in their music exams and have become fine musicians, courtesy Nirvana!
